[Geoserver-users] Improve Icon quality

Dear list,
we are using an older version of GeoServer (2.1.3) and currently we try to improve the quality of the icons.

Here you can see an example:

http://map2.hbt.de/geoserver/gwc/service/wms?HEIGHT=256&WIDTH=256&LAYERS=geofox_workspace%3Ageofoxdb_servicestellen&STYLES=geofox_servicestellen&SRS=EPSG%3A900913&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&TILED=true&TRANSPARENT=true&TILESORIGIN=-20037508.34%2C-20037508.34&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&BBOX=1100693.2063094,7093356.2227938,1103139.1912141,7095802.2076984

As you can see the text is very diffuse and we would like to get it sharper. Our research in the GeoServer configuration and in the Internet were not successful, I just found a setting for disabling the Antialiasing for WMS.

We have already installed JAI. Do you need any additional informations?

How can we improve the quality of our icons?

Regards
Stefan

You will have to upgrade GeoServer, we fixed the placement of icons around
the 2.5.x series. There are no configurations you can tune in 2.1.x to
improve that, as far as I remember at least.
